"From Jesus To Christ: The First Christians" is PBS's companion website to its Frontline production, an intellectual and visual guide to the new and controversial historical evidence which challenges familiar assumptions about the life of Jesus and the epic rise of Christianity. This site is anchored by the testimony of New Testament theologians, archaeologists, and historians who serve as both critics and storytellers. They address dozens of key issues, disagreements and critical problems relating to Jesus's life and the evolution of Christianity. Throughout the site, maps, charts (for example, the fortress of Masada, ancient texts (including Perpetua's diary), pictures of the archaeological discoveries, ancient imagery, and audio excerpts from the television program complement and illuminate the scholars' commentary.
